Twisted Metal: Black Walkthrough & Strategy Guide

Published: Jan 8, 2001

Introduction

After four Twisted Metal games for PlayStation, one would think that the
genre was wrinkled, withered and headed for the cemetery. The fact is, car-combat
was indeed in the coffin, in a grave, and dirt was piling up on it. But that
was before Incog. Inc. brought back the resurrected it like a raging,
fire-spitting bat out of hell. Twisted Metal: Black is the definitive
car-combat game, and is just a stunning videogame aside from the genre. And
it's quite tough, challenging, and it's amped up on some seriously aggressive
enemy AI.

But all of the wonderful back-patting and lovey-dovey aside, most folks won't
be able to progress too far in this game without a little help. You see,
the game was made extra hard. The easy mode is like medium for most games,
and medium is like hard. Hard is essentially no longer hard, but Extra Crispy
Brutal.

So, we have created this guide to help you with the essentials, the kinds
of things that are explained in the manual but may need a little extra
explanation, and a little more rounding out. And let's be honest, we give
you some frickin' hints, OK? Good, solid hints. For God sakes, you're going
to need help getting through this bastard, and we know it, it was hard for
our sorry asses, too! Damn!

On a more civil level, in this guide you'll find all of the basic moves,
the differences between the cars and characters, how to use the special weapons,
where to find health and power stations, and how to beat those nasty bosses.
Lastly, we have found the cool black cubes for you to unlock characters and
extra levels.
